The Greatest Misunderstanding About IUDs- Corrected

The IUD (with the less appealing name, Intrauterine Device) is one of the most effective and reversible long-term birth control options. Currently, there are three IUD product options: the Mirena, ParaGard and Skyla. Yet despite how wonderful this device is, many women (and some doctors!) still believe that you must be over a certain age in order for an IUD to work.

Bedsider sets the record straight with quick, accurate IUD must-knows.
